Strike One for Joe

So Chief Justice John Roberts, Jr. put the word “faithfully” in the wrong place when swearing in now President Obama. It could’ve been nerves, and/or it could have been because he was saying it by memory. Whatever the case it was a little slip up and Barack Obama was indeed already president at noon.

Well during a swearing in for White House senior staff, Vice-President Joe Biden made the remark, “My memory is not as good as Chief Justice Roberts'." President Obama can be clearly seen placing his hand on Biden’s arm as if to say, “That’s enough Joe,” or, “Don’t go there Joe.”

Now Biden has apologized, whether it came from the heart or President Obama we don’t know. But I think the new VP should now more than ever be careful about what he says. Remember when he said, “The presidency does not lend itself to on the job training,” or how there would be a great international disaster within the first six months of the Obama presidency. I think VP should stand for Very Positive, because Biden needs to be positive and not keep putting his foot in his mouth, and worrying or offending others.

In any case, strike one for Joe.
